Daily -Gate

Phil Jones, the beleaguered British climate scientist at the centre of the leaked emails controversy, is facing fresh claims that he sought to hide problems in key temperature data on which some of his work was based.

A Guardian investigation of thousands of emails and documents apparently hacked from the University of East Anglia's climatic research unit has found evidence that a series of measurements from Chinese weather stations were seriously flawed and that documents relating to them could not be produced.

As many have pointed out over at WUWT (via whom, of course), this is an oldish story. What's remarkable is that it's in the Grauniad, that bastion of warmism.

Even more remarkable are the comments. Over 800 of them so far, and probably three or more to one anti-AGW (tho I've read less than half of them). At the Guardian! What's more, the "recommend" thingie on their comments has got to be running ten to one against alarmists.
